I agree in theory but after witnessing development patters for some time, once a chunk of land goes towards one use, it is virtually impossible for it to ever be converted to any other use. Even same but more intense use (ie a proposal for a 3 story building instead of a 2 story building) will likely be rejected. Too many NIMBYS and monied interests. Once a lot is identified as an urban farm, there is almost zero change it will ever become anything else.
